Hotspot Shield Alternatives – 5 Best Free And Easy To Use Tools To Unblock Websites And Alter IP

A VPN software or service is mostly used to unblock Facebook and watch multimedia content on Hulu. Actually Hulu does not allow to watch its videos and other stuff in most of the countries because of copyright compulsions. On the other hand, not all but most of the internet users use a VPN to protect their online privacy and stay away from hackers.

As far as Hotspot Shield free is concerned, It would not be wrong to say that Hotspot Shield was used to be a very popular VPN solution to unblock a blocked website and alter the real IP address when there was no good competitor in VPN industry. Why I said? Hotspot Shield was used to be a very popular VPN. Because Hotspot Shield is no more a popular program to unblock Facebook at schools, workplaces and at other places where Facebook is not allowed to use. Annoying pop-up ads and data limits are the main reasons for its unpopularity.
